Week 4 - Finalizing My Data!

Welcome to week 4 - check out week 3 here if you haven't seen it!

This week I worked on gathering up all the remaining bits of data I needed. This consisted of doing final visits to my water test sites, dowloading and importing GIS data, and finding remaining literature that I wanted to use. I also visited the second of two Superfund sites that exist in 1/2 of the towns I am studying.

I also began to outline my products - a research manuscript and citizen science guide - and started to solidify my figures for the manuscript. When learning to use a new software, as I am with ArcGIS, it can be slow going, but I hope to have all of my figures complete in the next week.

Progress at this point is at a bit of a stuck point, where I have to finish the data analysis before I can move onto other things, but the end is in sight!
